Welcome to my homepage.  I am a second year PhD student in Statistics at Ohio State.

Wisdom, from early medieval to late modern:

The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes.
-- Abu Ali Sina Balkhi (Avicenna)


Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
-- Karl Marx

What is this enigmatic impulse that does not allow one to settle down in the achieved, the finished? I think it is a quest for reality.

-- Czesław Miłosz (from his Nobel Lecture)

Living is no laughing matter:
you must live with great seriousness
like a squirrel, for example-
I mean without looking for something beyond and above living,
I mean living must be your whole occupation.
-- Nazim Hikmet
